Thanks a lot for stopping by and reading my review ☺.

That means I saved you from a lot of pain😀.

Very true Mbrooks, you summed up my whole review into a single sentence. Thanks a lot for stopping by and taking time to read my review ☺.

Same here! A poorly researched book is annoying and a real pain to read.

What a powerful review! You certainly did not sugar coat your opinion. I appreciate your setting the facts straight. I will not be reading this book.

I don't know much about India. History was never my strongest subject. Given the poor research the author did as well I might have to pass on this one. Great review!

The premise sounds interesting, so it's very unfortunate that this book didn't live up to expectations. It's especially unfortunate that a lot of the information in the book is misleading, but I learned a lot just from reading your review! I thank you kindly for the new information.

Judging from your review, it doesn't seem like this author is qualified to talk about this subject in any way. It always surprises me to see people who know nothing about a topic speaking so confidently about it, lol. Thanks for the great review though!

I'm glad you shed some light on different cultures, especially on baseless claims by the author. Thanks for an honest review.
